Round 17 vs The Rabbitohs

[OldPanther]

There's confirmation. Kikau named in the NSW Cup side tonight. Akauola and Katoa are both out. Looks like Rein might be out, was reported earlier this week in the Western Weekender that him and Moylan just had a cold.

Kikua dropped the ball and got sent off. He's not doing very good this year.

I knew it was about to happen, watched it unfold in slow motion.
It seems the poor guy has some confidence issues. "OK, don't drop it, don't drop it,don't drop it. f**k! Dropped it".

What did he get sent off for?Did he clobber a c***?

i think he meant he got taken off by griffin for making the mistake

 

[PenrithPanther45]

So what happens to the roster?

akauola is in for kikau and katoa on standby for rein otherwise same side

 

[Kilkenny]

Seriously why wouldn't Kikau be down on confidence. Who Wouldn't be when other than the Knights game (enforced by injuries) you only get a handful of minutes if that. The minute you do get on the field, late in the second half, the anxiety levels to show showing must be elevated and hence he has made a few mistakes. Super coach Griffin has done Kikau no favours so far this season and hard to blame the kid in my opinion..

 

[TheEroticGamer]

He's gotten sin binned twice in the first half so I thought that's what he meant.

He got sent off twice in the first half. As in the ref sent him. I'm just getting the twitter notifications.

 

[Panther Pete]

If we don't make the finals he needs to go. This roster is too good for that.

Even if we don't make the 8 Griffin isn't going anywhere this year. If this time next year we are still playing like we are now, that's when we will be getting a new coach.

Oh sorry thought you were referring to the NRL game last week not NSW Cup tonight

Sorry. Should have clarified.

 

[PenrithPanther45]

Sorry. Should have clarified.

Just listened to the last 10 minutes of commentary and sounds like when he was on the field he was dangerous r.e offloads at least

 

[Buzzard Breath]

Griffin just said Fish will be back next week and contrey to reports Carty still a month away.
Wallace still 2- 3 weeks away after a little set back.

Absolutely.

The guy is a giant. He can be unstoppable if he wants to be. Still a long way to go.

He needs to think with some positive waves.

When Mansour first appeared he had bad hands too. Let's hope he improves like Mansour did.

Tom.

Mitch Rein out, Siona Katoa starts at hooker for Penrith with Sitaleki Akauola replacing Viliame Kikau on the bench.

Interesting to see whether he plays 80 or shares with peachey.

Kikau played on Friday and got sent off twice in the bin.On the back of that strange play the ball indecent v Cows last week,he doesn't seem to have his gamehead on.

Yeah I have my doubts whether he can play the full 80 in FG. We shall see.
